Custom UISegmentedControl like the Scope control in UISearchBar

Question

I like to create a UISegmentedControl that looks like the scope button in UISearchBar.

Answer 1

You don't have direct access to the UISegmentedControl on a UISearchBar, so you will have to set the global appearance of the UISegementedControl using the UIAppearance protocol on the UISearchBar. See Customizing Appearance in the documentation for UISearchBar.

To to set a background image for example use:

[[UISearchBar appearance] setScopeBarBackgroundImage:someImage];
